ScopedViewModel
open class ScopedViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val job = Job()
protected val scope: CoroutineScope = job + Dispatchers.Main
override fun onCleared() {
super.onCleared()
job.cancel()
}
}
class DetailViewModel : ScopedViewModel() {
fun startTask() {
scope.launch {
// Switch the 'background' thread
withContext(Dispatchers.Default) {
// do your long-running thing
}
// We're now back on the Android's Main thread (since we're using
// the ScopedViewModel's scope)
updateUi()
}
}
}

Yes, it doesn't compile, I have solved it like this:
protected val scope: CoroutineScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main + job)

Great stuff!
Is it ok implement CoroutineScope from viewModel and just use launch instead of scope.launch?
